Best phones under £450? (new and 2nd hand)

[RADEON_GUY]

So I am looking to upgrade from my iPhone 6 to something newer. I'll take 2nd hand suggestions as well. I mainly use my phone to watch youtube videos, browse forums and sometimes play games on the bus. I'd also like a good looking phone. 

Battery life isn't that much of a concern.

I would buy a used or re certified M8 or M9 and save a few bucks, or a new M10. Always have really liked the M-line. The aluminum back makes it feel really solid in your hands.

You call the iPhone 6 old? lol I must be a dinosaur for still being able to use an iPhone 4.

Never called it old. Just kinda got bored of it and I want to try something new. I don't see anything wrong with that.

ah ok. I saw "looking to upgrade from my iPhone 6 to something newer" so yea. Maybe something "different" would be better than "newer" in this case. Just saying. Anyways, idk. If you really want to be a baller, you can go for Windows Phone.

Note 5, or just wait whatever next Note there is. 

[Oshino Shinobu]

OnePlus 3t or Honor 8 would be my recommendations. I recently bought an Honor 8 myself, it's excellent. 

[MoonlightSylv]

Oneplus 3T is good.

Thanks guys. I'll definitely consider these 2 phones. I've also had the S7 Edge and the iPhone 7 in mind.

Since the s8 came out, and the S7E got a price drop, I think the edge (GSM Exynos unit) in terms of features and performance is better than the 3t in almost every way Except software updates.

Well that can be solved by rooting can't it? I root pretty much all of my android phones anyways.

Samsung bootloaders are very, different and somewhat harder to bypass, than other normal Chinese phones

 

IIRC the S7E has a LineageOS but last time I heard from it it was glitchy and buggy.

 

Not sure what you're trying to achieve on root though.

Well I installed cyanogenmod on my S4. It was a pretty nice straight forward OS. I've also rooted my Note 4, but didn't tweak it much afterwards. I'm guessing Custom OS's are still a thing on samsung phones?

I woudnt get the iphone 7 just get a 6 unless you really need the waterproof.IN that case just grab a case.

 

In the words of something i've read.The iphone 7 is like going on vacation for a while and coming home with the curtains changed

Well then. The only thing that i'm worried about with the s7 edge is its screen. It's nice and all, but I've heard replacing it costs as much as getting a new phone...
